It's funny, 'cos the actual answer, that Musk is seeking to make himself god-emperor of Mars, & that he moves in circles where imagining an immortal "post-human" elite liberated from the shackles of mere planetary existence is normal, sounds so fucking insane they wouldn't dare print it.

In my lifetime, you used to be able to dismantle and reassemble an entire car-engine on a kitchen table. Now, several computers are in the way of that.
So much power has been yielded up to complexity, no wonder people want their simplicity back.

True to its long history of exploitation and obfuscation, Meta makes it as hard as possible to delete your Facebook account. It keeps changing the procedure. In some cases it directs you to the wrong tabs. But this video by Gauging Gadgets provides a simple guide. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZIJ...

Every time I read a retrospective on COVID I remember the early days, when people published commentaries about the 1918 flu pandemic, how it was SO WEIRD that that whole thing just got memory-holed, how did that happen so many people died?
Covid now has >20 million. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

5 years after it appeared, things we know and still don't know about COVID
Five years after the virus that causes COVID emerged in China it still holds some mysteries.

Crude, ugly, and an embarrassment to France... nobody is going to mourn M. Le Pen.
Dupuy de Lôme here, on the other hand, was a groundbreakingly modern design that influenced naval designers the world over.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.
